The Symposium is Back!

What’s better than the fall? You’ve got beautiful colors, football and the kick-off of the holiday season. How ‘bout a live-conference… in a beautiful location… specifically designed for all you learning leaders out there?

The Fall 2015 CLO Symposium is the premier event for learning professionals aiming to provide their organization with that competitive edge. #CLOsym

The theme this season: The Next Evolution: Learning in a Time of Disruption

Whether you’re a first time attendee or a true trouper to the event, there’s something for everyone. The editors from Chief LearningOfficer magazine have rallied to create a spirited agenda yet again. To get specific, that’s 2.5 days of keynotes, workshops, panel discussions, power hours and orientation (for all you newbies out there) – all dedicated to the passion and development of the learning industry.

On Oct. 12-14, Chief Learning Officer will bring all these advantageous sessions to the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines in Austin, Texas. For more info on the growing agenda, visit closymposium.com/#schedule.

The bonus this season: a pre-conference workshop, CLO Accelerator

Heard of this before? No? That’s because 1. It’s brand new and 2. There’s nothing like it out there.

Driving the Future of Learning & Development, the CLO Accelerator will take place Oct. 10-11 immediately preceding the CLO Symposium, and here’s what you need to know:

Whether you’re a director of training who aspires to the CLO role or a business manager new to the role as a training leader, you need a vision and the tools to execute. CLO has joined forces with Gerry Hudson-Martin, a former senior training officer at John Hancock Financial Services and Marriott International to deliver just that. Attendees will hear from several chief learning officer veterans, including a fireside chat with a “CLO of the Year” during the first evening.

If you’re curious about the faculty we’ve locked-in, you can stay tuned for next week’s blog post when we’ll dive deeper into the CLO Accelerator agenda, or you can use the available cheat-sheet and download the course brochure now.
